Aureus placed me in two great SNF contracts in Colorado. Recruiter was with me start to finish and answered every question honestly. Pay transparency was better than most — they showed me the full package breakdown without me having to push.

Five contracts with Aureus. The Omaha team has a Midwest friendliness that comes through in every interaction. Recruiter turnover is low compared to other agencies I’ve used. Highly recommend for Midwest and Mountain West travelers.

Good agency with honest recruiters. Pay wasn’t quite as high as boutique agencies I’ve used, but Aureus made up for it with consistent communication and no surprises on contract day. I felt like I could trust them.

Solid mid-tier agency. Recruiter quality is genuine — mine had been with the company for years and knew the market cold. I’d use them again in my target states without hesitation.
